I personally don't like how a hoody looks on me. I feel like the bands make it look bulky. I am only 5'1 so things can look short and stubby on me pretty easily then it would on a taller person.

This is just not flattering on me but I do want to be cozy!!

Get your sewing projects done with ease using this best selling seam ripper that Amazon reviewers swear by!

So I took off the band at the bottom, the hood and the bands on the sleeves off using a seam ripper to accomplish this but since I didn't care if it looked a little more distressed, one I got the seam ripper going, I would pull the seam apart. If you hold on side in one hand and the other in your other hand and pull hard, the seam will unravel pretty easily. If it starts getting to hard to pull apart, use the seam ripper again.

It is still transitional fall weather here so I wore this with a skirt and jus think it was so much more flattering on my body!

This is really easy and can also be done with scissors along the seam if using a seam ripper is too advanced!

Suggested materials:
